that city last week says: M lie.
Rhea's rendition OF the title role was q
genuine triumph, the interest of the
large audience being maintained
throughout to sn almost painful de-
gree. The part is one that always
draws largely on the resources Of even
the great actress, but Rhes was equal
to the task, and was original, powerful
and intense, and at the same time nat.
ural and self-contsined. The climax
af the heroine's sufferings in the third
act, when called upon to leave her
lover, and the studied suppression OF
strong feeling in the fourth when q
quarrel between her rival admirers is
imminent, were beautiful pieces OF
acting, while the death scene ut the
close was intensely realistic and held
the audience breathless until the fall
of the curtain. Mr.. Forests versatile

SPOILED CHEEK.

Last evening near o'clock two gents
reached the Fort Scott depot, expecting
and bought tickets for their former home
in Ohio, intending 10 make swing of a
few weeks in the east. In few minutes
the boarding house man arrived and
wanted a few dollars which he claimed
they owed him. They were slightly intox-
icated and gave him grand bluff As the
train started one boarded it, followed by
the other. The last was grabbed by the
irate boarding house man and pulled from
the car. He fell with his head on the edge
of the platform and the car steps. passing
by, hit him on the side OF the head. hurt
ing him seriously. For time he was I'M
conscious and carried into the waiting
room and doctor called. 1t was observed
his left cheek bone was caven in and some
teeth considerably disturbed. Before the
doctor arrived. however he revived and
astonished those around him by walking
away. He was accompanied by his pard.
who, when be saw the accident. left the
train. The friends Of the fellows asked
that the names not be published, claiming
they are rather decent young men when at
their best.

A NARROW ESCAPE,

Last evening as lady on South Fourth
avenue entered her bedroom on the first
story of her home, she was surprised to see
her jewel case and lamp fall from the
dressing case to the floor. She hastily
picked up the lamp before it had ignited
the carpet; and looking from the window
which was partly up, saw a man running
back through the yard. 1t took but a
glance to show that the rascal had raised
the window to her bed room and
in order to reach the ewel case which was
upon the dresses he was pulling towards
him the embroydered cover. But he had
miscalculated. for in his efforts he moved
the lamp to the edge and it with the jewel
case fell to the floor just as the lady enter
that she did, for the lamp would soon have
set the house fire and the thief probably
have made away the Jewels

THAT GRAND CONCERT.

The program for the grand concert given
by the College of Music faculty at Craw-
ford's opera house on Monday evening
promises to be one of rare excellence in
every detail, the performers, Mr. John
W. Metcalf, pianist; Miss Blanche New
comb, violinist, and Miss Alice Hutchins,
vocalist, have all been introduced to the
public earlier in the season; no word of
commentator need be spoken in their be
half, therefore, as those who attended
their first concert were loud in their praise
of it, and those who were not able to be
present missed treat such as has been
seldom afforded to tie citizens of Wichita
heretofore. These artists should be given
the full support of the music-loving pub
lie in their praiseworthy efforts towards
helping build up, not only in this city,
but in this state, love for the best in mu-
steal art. The college of music has sue
ceeded thus far beyond every expectation
and bids fair in their hands to take a firm
stand as one of the representative west
ern schools of music.
The program will appear in these col
umns in due season.
There will be on sale at the box Office at
Crawford's opera house on the evening of
the 18th next Monday tickets for children
under 12 years These tickets will cost
% cents. Reserved seat tickets for the

THE CITY OF KANSAS"

Mr. w. l.. Richmeyer, of jamestown.
Pennsylvania, left yesterday after visit
of some days in the city. For some years
he has been interested in property in the
city, but this was his first visit. Like
most cashiers he expected to see thriv-
ing little town which is called Wichita,
but not ready to see something thas i'm
pressed him strongly as being one of the
most lively cities ne ever saw. He visited
a number of Kansas towns before coming
here, and he admits that it did not take
him long to observe that this is the best
city in the state. This will ever be the
city of Kansas were the words that fell
from his lips before boarding the train.

THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

The legislative committee of the board
of trade held a meeting yesterday after
noon at the city engineers Office for the
purpose of examining into the details of
the sewerage system and surveys made
by Rosewater & Christie.
Gen. VIM. P. Snyder, ex-attorney general
of Pennsylvania, very prominent corpor-
alton attorney of New York and Philadel-
phia and representing the West Pullman
system of sewerage, is en- route to Wichita,
accompanied by an expert, and they hope
to have an opportunity to explain the sys-
tenn to our council on Monday evening or
soon thereafter We regard it as highly
important that our council should obtain
all the information possible on this impor-
tant subject at this time, and before final
ly settling upon any particular plan. As
the gentlemen coming ask nothing but a
hearing, the courtesy should be promptly
extended. General Snyder's prominence
in the East among capitalists will be of
great benefit to us should he carry back a
favorable opinion of our city, which we
doubt not he will

self unable to stop the runaway let

As far as he could see down the road the
